Six college and graduate students from across the country—Georgia Burtt, Jacob Eddy, Greta Hulterstrum, Megan Rasmussen, Nema Robinson, and Faith Youn—have been selected to join the League of American Orchestras’ Student Leadership Council for 2025-26. They will bring their insights to the League’s strategic thinking, develop content for the League’s student constituency, and help create pathways for a new generation of arts professionals. Formed in 2023, the Student Leadership Council provides a platform for the League to integrate the voices of young people into its work and support the growth of student engagement in the orchestra field. Student Leadership Council members participate in monthly meetings and take on leadership roles in several areas, including increased visibility of youth voice and perspective by the League, membership growth and engagement of the League’s Student Constituency, marketing and recruitment of students for the League’s National Conference, and programming for virtual and in-person meetings. They collaborate with the League in building inclusive pathways for a new generation of diverse and creative professionals to enter the orchestra field and flourish as leaders. The students will also participate in a League mentorship program, including monthly meetings with orchestra professionals.
